Abstract: A pair of men s shorts, including under shorts, has a typical chassis with an abdomen opening, a right pant leg and a left pant leg. The user's genitals pass through an opening on the front of the chassis whenever the shorts are being worn. A hammock overlies the opening and is anchored to the chassis at two points on the right out seam, one point below the other, and two points on the left out seam, symmetrical with the right out seam attachment. The hammock is also attached to the chassis at the waist band and at the lower edge of the opening just above the left and right inseam joinder area. The hammock by being anchored at the out seams and being non-stretching in a transverse direction, acts as a sling in supporting the genitals of the user.

Abstract: An illuminated gas flow tube comprises an in-line flow tube having a distal end and a proximal end. A gas inlet is co-axially secured to the distal end, and a gas outlet is co-axially secured to the proximal end. A specific gravity ball is located within the in-line flow tube, and moves within the flow tube as a function of gas entering the gas inlet. A phosphorescent or photoluminescent material is configured and arranged to at least partially lengthwise surround a radial exterior portion of the flow tube to illuminate the interior of the tube. An illuminated gas pressure gauge comprises an gas inlet, a pressure sensing element, a transparent cover, and a face that is encased by and seen through the transparent cover, where the face includes markings indicative of pressure.
